Last blog post I mentioned there were some things in the works we weren’t quite ready to announce, well that time has passed. Pleased to introduce the new star system gameplay. When in warp, a player will now be able to move about the star system with full control. You’ll be able to fly to destinations and enter back into normal gameplay mode (with combat, mining, etc) but you’ll now be able to transition to a new star system as well. No more hunting for warp gates as you move freely about the universe. Less time spent staring at map UI too. We still have a few weeks to go on it, as we need to finish off a few technical features before it’s ready to start being filled with more dynamic content – ship convoys to overtake, hostile ships to avoid, alien spacestations to encounter – but we’re expecting it to be far more fulfilling for explorers while maintaining the existing sense of tactics that fighters have been enjoying so far. Hopefully next blog post will be mid-next week and we’ll actually have some gifs to show off.
